Package: backupninja
Version: 0.9.3-6
Severity: wishlist

One system here has the policy never to require root. Thus we did

  # addgroup backupmasters
  # chgrp backupmasters /etc/backup.d
  # chmod 2775 /etc/backup.d

Now, if a backupmaster touches /etc/backup.d/90.sys into existence,
the next run of backupninja yields:

  Fatal: Configuration files must not be group or world readable!
  Dying on file /etc/backup.d/90.sys

My suggestion would be to add a configuration file option for
a group that can/should be able to read-write the configuration, and
to check for and complain about group-readable files only when the
group differs from the one in the configuration file. The default
should be root.

Thanks,
